L-theanine (found in Composure and Anxitane) is a type of amino acid with some evidence to show it is effective at reducing anxiety in dogs. Because of its safety, and the low risk of side effects, it is a popular remedy for owners who don’t want to give their dog medicines like Xanax. It is thought to increase levels of dopamine and GABA in the brain, though there is differing opinions on how the substance affects serotonin levels. These chemicals play a role in mood, and can affect how anxious a dog feels. For optimal results, consider using an ADAPTIL Collar.

Since product tolerance was very good, a longer administration over 2–3 months could have helped reduce further unwanted signs still detected at 1 month in some cats, like aggressiveness or hypervigilance/tenseness/fear.
